Recently I began a quest to find a more coherent and safe way to manage my critical, personal data (i.e. account numbers, web logins, passwords etc.). I have tried several other programs that had various different schemes of protection and organization but none have been as easy from the start as SplashID.

You start the program and are greeted with a very simple and intuitive interface that is based on a series of templates depending on the type of data you are entering.

If you are entering web logins, you have predefined spaces for username/password and url as well as several blank places for custom extra information. The same goes for account numbers and identifying information, combinations, e-mail accounts and any of a number of 19 different categories that are predefined.

Don't like the categories they give you? Create your own very easily with fields that you define. Not to mention icons that are easy to recognize and change.

Security: One password locks all the data and places it in one easy to access and very easy to navigate location. This made me nervous at first, but the program is solid. SplashID is invisible even to FindHack and other global search programs that often defeat other security programs. Turn it off, even for a second, and you must re-enter the password, good if you happen to have the program open and walk away just for a second and it shuts off automatically. You cannot override it by resetting it or bypassing start-up routines as you can with other programs.

This allows easy access to all your data. Want to see just your 15 e-mail accounts, no problem. Forgot your web-login? Simply pull up web logins or use the FIND feature.

Ease of Data entry: I quickly moved all my data from "secure" memos to the SplashID program using the convenient desktop interface that easily syncs with the palm. Make changes to one and the changes are made to both seamlessly.

This is an incredibly simple yet effective and intuitive product. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to feel secure about carrying sensitive information on their palm.
